Astral Attack

Believe it or not most astral attacks are not caused by curses or
witchcraft. Half the time astral attacks are not intentional. They take
place on the subconscious level and are the result of negative thinking,
verbal abuse that goes round and round in the head, stale energy that has
been left behind in a place and bungled rituals that may have been done by
amateurs hoping to create prosperity or love. Below I have identified the
different kinds of astral attack that can take place and hopefully it will
help you avoid cursing yourself as well as others. Thoughts are like seeds
…once planted and allowed to grow they can take root and choke the
potential out of your life. The idea is to keep your psychic garden free
of the spiritual equivalent of suckers, weeds and anything else that might
abort your spiritual growth, personal will and soul freedom.

Thought Forms

Thought forms tend to affect our lives on a mundane level. That is because
they tend to be sent by ordinary people. We may experience more day-to-day
and practical frustrations. This kind of attack is usually from someone
you know, with whom you’ve had an unpleasant encounter with. Perhaps you
have had a disagreement and they have been disgruntled with you all day.
You might feel the “bad energy” from that person’s thoughts.

The Subconscious Curse

This kind of curse usually comes from someone that we know quite well and
actually cares for us. They may even be praying for our well being to our
actual detriment. This is where others think they know
what’s best for you, but actually don’t and you feel as if you are leading
a life directed by someone else, and not you.

The Self-Fulfilling Prophecy Attack

This kind of astral attack is often stated verbally in the form of a
negative affirmation such as “You’ll never make your rent unless you get a
job.”, “There’s no way you can write that book in two weeks” and “Your
aunt had diabetes so you will probably get it to.” These kinds of words
have a powerful effect on our subconscious mind and set to programming the
conscious mind to write a disaster script for us.

Unsolicited Criticism and Verbal Abuse

This might seem obvious, but this is actually a form of direct astral
attack. The Unconscious Mind is very much influenced by words and picks up
these cruel words. Because they hurt we often repeat them over and over in
our minds. When we do this we are basically subconsciously cursing
ourselves with another person’s words.

The Collective Wish for Failure

The more successful you are, the more you attract envy and jealousy, and
therefore the ravages of the evil eye. There are many people out there who
will happily congratulate you on your success and then secretly go home
and wish that you would fail for once. This can be especially powerful if
you find yourself at the mercy of a large group of people who are all
wishing for your demise at the same time.

The Psychic Vampire

If you feel exhausted, fatigued or drained just by encountering a person,
then chances are you have encountered a person who is adept at hooking
into your third chakra and sucking your energy.

If this person is always on your mind, to the exclusion of all other
thoughts, than it is possible that you have become engaged in an energy
exchange with someone who is trying to dominate or bend your will to their
way.

Live Hauntings

These forms of astral attack tend to take the form of obsession and the
object of obsession is usually a lover. When healthy relationships
terminate, neither individual is left with a sense that they are no longer
whole. Live hauntings don’t usually occur unless the real-life
relationship was vampire like and co-dependent in the first place.

The most likely suspects for this kind of haunting are addicts,
alcoholics, manic-depressives and people with personality disorders.
Although there may have been a genuine love there at one time, with one
partner nurturing and taking care of the other, they often degenerate into
power and ego struggles. Long after the person is gone, the person who is
left behind often still feels addicted to that person. Or they still
strongly feel their presence around them and feel that presence is
reflected in omens, coincidences and synchronicities that occur in their
lives. If you are completely obsessed with an individual – if you see or
feel their presence everywhere, you are most likely the victim of a live
haunting.

Amateur Shamans and Witchlets

Sometimes you deliberately cross such a person, other times they see him
or herself as an agent of karma and sometimes you don’t know them at all.
People playing with magick are a growing problem in terms of astral
pollution on our planet. They are influenced by television shows, movies
and the availability of spell books on the market.

These individuals are generally quite harmless, but they can cause havoc
in one’s life on the mundane level. If you have no known enemies in your
life, are reasonably free of envy, resentment and fear and yet still
cannot figure out where your haunting is coming from, it is probably the
result of a thought form produced by an amateur shaman or witchlet. These
attacks are not intentional; they are just the products of bad aim,
unfinished rituals or lack of magickal protocol in general.

Cults, Gurus and Group Mind

If you feel irresistibly compelled, beyond all rational reasoning, to join
a cult, coven or religious organization, you may not be necessarily
following your heart, you may be under astral attack.

Cults work by downloading information into your crown chakra. Victims
often feel inferior, unholy or lonely if they do not join the cult.
Another major clue that you are under astral attack that originates from
group mind is this simple test – stay away from them for a few days. If
you suffer extreme misfortune or bad luck, then they are probably
practicing some form of binding on you to keep you with them.

Also if you are experiencing a run of bad luck, it is possible that the
group has stolen your guardian spirits and holding them hostage, so that
you feel unprotected in any situation that does not include them.

Note from Starwitch: That sounds pretty ridiculous to me. It's more likely that you spent too much time listening to a charismatic spiritual
leader and he brainwashed you to believe that you need him or his organization. He probably also made you believe he was able to tap into your mind or create miracles or magic for you. Brainwashing is very strong and it's very easy
to do to most people, especially those who are seeking answers or feeling that something is missing in their life. I'm not believing she said they were "downloading information into your crown chakra." Please.

Astral Imprints

An astral imprint is a bad memory that won’t go away, but the memory is
not necessarily yours. Other people leave astral imprints, dead or alive
in building or environments. Living individuals can also leave their
astral imprint on objects that they have touched or used during the time
that you knew him or her. Antiques often hold the astral imprints of
former owners. If you find yourself obsessed about an object or feel
disturbed or upset while holding it then you are most likely dealing with
an astral imprint.
